A Delhi court on Thursday reserved its order on senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram's surrender plea after the conclusion of arguments in INX Media alleged corruption case. The court will now pronounce its order on Friday around 2 PM.

The senior Congress leader had on Wednesday approached the court seeking regular bail in the INX Media alleged corruption case. In his plea, the veteran Congress leader had also challenged the CBI court order of September 5 which sent him to judicial custody till September 19.

In a major blow for former Union finance minister P Chidambaram, the Delhi's Rouse Avenue court on Thursday sent him to judicial custody till September 19 in the INX Media case being probed by the CBI .

Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI amid high drama from his home in Delhi's Jor Bagh on August 21. After his arrest, the CBI had kept him at his headquarters before producing the former finance minister before a special CBI court on August 22.

During the hearing on Friday, former Union finance minister Chidambaram told the Rouse Avenue Court that the "same files were being shown to him repeatedly" and the CBI had failed to show him any document establishing his involvement in money laundering so far.

Presenting ED's arguments, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that the central probe agency has “direct evidence to show how money was laundered” and the ED can prove in the court that laundering is still on.

Chidambaram is in CBI custody in connection to the INX Media case. It involves alleged kickbacks received by his son Karti in exchange for allowing INX Media, a television company, to receive Rs 305 crore as foreign funds in 2007.
